NOT unless ...

It may be good to bolster your confidence in your skills, but it's not worth it financially any more.  I got mine in 1987 and it was well worth it then.  ie the cost was a lot less and the usefulness at lot more.  It got me accounts when I was on my own and it got me a job in Saudi Arabia, back when it was more safe to go there than now.  So, it was worth it to me, but I let it go when the last renewal came around because the folks holding the money bags, just don't care an more whether we know anything or not.
